Nine Cloudy Challenges for Databases - Slide 8

Developers flock to the cloud – and with good reason. The flip side is that once the application gains momentum, running it effectively – and the DB in particular – requires a skill set not readily available for most developers. To allow developers to focus on their code rather than on the IT, the cloud ecosystem provides a myriad of off-the-shelf development platforms and cloud services to integrate with to streamline development and time-to-production.
